At a Glance
This area is made up of high plains desert and the Copper Mountains. This unit is mostly private land where the elk occur and is bordered by U.S. Highway 20 on the west. There is an abundance of BLM in this unit and access might be a little tricky for some of it. Good bulls are taken from this unit every season.
The terrain in this area is moderate/rugged, with elk located mostly in the rugged and sparsely timbered Copper Mountains. The bigger elk typically come from the more rugged and remote locations of this area, or on the fringes of large ranches.
Quick Tips
